<b>YONGSAN GARRISON, Republic of Korea </b> - Yongsan Garrison will host its annual Auto and Motor Show for car and motorcycle enthusiasts at the Yongsan Commissary parking lot July 26 starting at 10 a.m.

Yongsan's hottest cars and motorcycles will line up for display to determine the winners of the competition categories in this fourth annual event.

"This year's event will bring together some of the best tuned-cars and bikes on post, and we hope with more competitors and visitors than previous years," said Mario Farrulla, director of U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan Community Activity Centers.

Some enthusiasts may even walk away with cash in hand. FMWR will hand out $200 prizes to the winners of five categories: overall best, best wheels and tires, best sound, best modified motor, and the worst hooptie.
